MIR. Beccher as a Catholic.

THE RUMOR THAT PLYMOUTH'S PASTOR LEANED To-
WARD THE ROMAN CHURCH.
New York dispatch to che Philadelpia News.
For a couple OF weeks past there have been
certain rumors current in Catholic circles to the
effect that, had He nry Ward Beecher lived little
longer, he would have entered the Catholic
Church. Father Rordan, OF Castle Garden who
was we'll acquainted with Mr.. Beecher, said that,
although Mr.. Beecher had always been most
fayOraby Inclined both In his attitude and utter
ances toward the church, yet he knew OF no deti-
mite intention on his part OF entering the Catholic
Church. lie did know, however, that upon one
occasion MIR. Beecher had said that but for the
fact that 1t was impossible for him to sever his
relations with the Plymouth church he would
embrace Catholicism.
Father Malone, OF the Church OF st. Peter and st.
Paul, Brooklyn, who was terms Of warmest
friendship with Mr.. Beecher, said that some time
ago he had entertained some hope that MIR.
Beecher might decide to enter the church, and
with this idea in his mind he had sent Mr.. Beecher
Stepping Stones" This book was work written
by a Syracuse priest, and its aim and object was
to fOrtify and encourage persons whose hearts had
turned toward the Catholic Church, but who found
difficulties and obstacles in their way toward be-
coming converts. Father Malone had known Mr.
Beecher TO remark upon one occasion to DR.. PeaSe
Il friend OF his, "What would you do with Inc Ii |
We're to enter the church," DR.. PeaSe had replied
why, OF course, Mr.. Beecher, we should put you
in the pulpit"

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
River water contains the salts, gases and Or
ganic matters found in ran well, spring, and els
tern water, and, in addition, usually holds sand or
clay suspended in it, giving it decided color.
The grand advantage it has over well water lies
In the fact that 1t Is continually agtated and ex-
posed to the air. The gas oxygen is being con-
tinually absorbed, and gives life to the fishes it
contains, and at the same time combines with Or
ganic matter dissolved or held in suspension, de-
stroy1ng Its capacity to do harm. Many OF the
dlSease-producing microbes are killed outright
when brought into contact with oxygen. They
can flourish only when the oxygen they require
1or their development is already fixed in combina-
ton with living materials. Their destiny seems
TO be to destroy life by rObbing living tissues OF
part or all the oxygen they contain. These dead
nest OF mans enemies are continually being de-
StrOyed whenever they find themselves in running
water. Like the witches connected with the men-
DRY OF Tam O'Shanter, they lind a mysterious
enemy In flowing streams.
